Privatization of Water Services in the United States: An Assessment of Issues and Experience Book

In the quest to reduce costs and improve the efficiency of water and wastewater services, many communities in the United States are exploring the potential advantages of privatization of those services. Unlike other utility services, local governments have generally assumed responsibility for providing water services. Privatization of such services can include the outright sale of system assets, or various forms of public-private partnershipsâ??from the simple provision of supplies and services, to private design construction and operation of treatment plants and distribution systems.
